Re: Top 10 Favorite Poker Books
These three books stand out to me now because they impacted me tremendously when I first read them.
Big Deal by Anthony Holden
I read this before I had any experience playing poker in a casino. The poker world was completely new to me at that time and I ate it up. If I was to read this book for the first time now, I think I would still enjoy it, but I wouldn't remember it as fondly.
Theory of Poker by David Sklansky
This was and still is a great book. When I read this back in the early 90s, it really opened my eyes on how a thinking player can beat the games.
Inside the Poker Mind by John Feeney
I read this book after I thought I was already a decent player. Say around a $20 an hour player in regular 20/40 casino games. This book impacted me similarly as the Theory of Poker did, but at a different stage in my poker life. It made me aware there was a different level of thinking, and I needed to get to that level.
